A mid-century Western about honor, duty, and redemption, where a man branded a coward must prove his worth by infiltrating outlaws to save refugees.

During the war for Texas independence, one man leaves the Alamo before the end (chosen by lot to help others' families) but is too late to accomplish his mission, and is branded a coward. Since he cannot now expose a gang of turncoats, he infiltrates them instead. Can he save a wagon train of refugees from Wade's Guerillas?
